- A few days later, Friday -
- Around the middle of Lunchtime -
"Lynn no!"
"Ah come on, now's the perfect time!"
An amusing sight, Lynn currently pulls a reluctant and blushing Kaori down the hall near an open door, grasping her wrists as Kaori vainly pulls against her, the soils of her shoes slipping and squeaking on the tiled floor.
"I don't want to!" whines Kaori.
"You told me you wanted to do it." Replies Lynn smiling as she continues to pull her friend down the hall.
"I know, but I thought about it and it's silly!" retorts Kaori.
"No it's not…" states Lynn, nearing the door, She quickly rushs behind Kaori and begin pushing her. "Ya gotta start somewhere, and small is good."
"But I don't wanna!" whines Kaori. "It's too embarrassing!"
Reaching the open door and positioned to look into it, Kaori sees Sakaki sitting at her desk near the window eating lunch.
Lynn positions her grinning face over Kaori's right shoulder and whispers…
"How do you ever expect to claim your Sakaki if you let your fear get the best of you?"
"B-but…" utters the trembling girl as she face gets even redder from seeing Sakaki and hearing Lynn's comment.
"No buts, you don't want someone else beating you to her do you?" asks Lynn. "There's tons of other girls and guys here that would like to claim her."
"N-No…" replies Kaori.
"Then go get her!" quickly states Lynn before suddenly pushing the blushing girl into the room.
The surprise of the sudden push causes Kaori to gasp out and stagger forward, nearly falling on her face, alerting a few random eyes on her as she regains her balance. Kaori quickly frowns and looks back to see Lynn peeking her head into the room with a grin and a thumbs up gesture, before moving out of view.
The frown quickly disappearing, Kaori sighs in defeat, before turning around and looking towards Sakaki, who was focused on her lunch, a nervous smile appearing on her face.
'Ok, you can do this Kaori…' thinks the nervous, red-faced girl. 'Just walk up to her and ask… Just walk up to her and ask…'
After a moment, Kaori takes a breath, brushes some hair from her face and steps forward, her face seemingly getting redder with each step until she was next to the long-haired teen of her fantasies, who looks up at her with a wondering expression on her face as she chewed and swallowed what was currently in her mouth.
"M-Miss Sakaki, I, uh…" begins Kaori nervously, looking into Sakaki's eyes causing her to smile goofily before averting her slightly and playing with the hem of her burgundy skirt with her hands. "I-I was wondering… if you, would be free today…"
"What for?" asks Sakaki, in the same quiet tone as always.
"W-Well…" replies Kaori, shifting her gaze downward to the floor as she pivots her right foot a little. "I was wondering… there's a new movie that opens today… So… I was thinking, that… maybe, you'd be interested in seeing it… w-with me."
With Kaori looking down to the floor, she failed to noticed the surprised look on Sakaki's face as well as a deep blush on her cheeks. What Kaori did notice was the stuttering 'U-Uh…' from her, causing her to look up.
"Y-you like going to a movie theater right?" asks Kaori smiling.
"Um, yeah I do." Replies Sakaki. "I like action and comedy movies."
"That's great!" quickly replies Kaori happily, lifting her hand from her skirt, up to her chest together. "The movie has both of those! I'll pay for both of us!"
"It's just going to be the two of us?"
"Yeah…" replies Kaori, feeling another pang of worry.
Kaori was worried but eagerly looks into Sakaki's eyes and after a moment, the taller girl, briefly looks away with a small smile and answering…
"Ok."
"Really!?" gasps Kaori, feeling a surge of excitement and happiness shoot through her.
"Yeah, I'll go with you." Answers Sakaki. "What time is the movie?"
-
Just outside the room, Lynn leans back against the wall near the door waiting, she soon sees Kaori come from the room doing a perfect pirouette.
"This is the happiest day of my entire life!" declares the happy teen, causing Lynn to smile.
"I'm guessing she said yes?"
"YES!" exclaims Kaori, before surprising Lynn my grabbing her by the arm and pulling her from the wall and happily making her run in circles with her. "Thank-you Lynn! Thank-you SO, SO much. I don't think I could've done it without you!"
"Heh, well I'm glad I could help." Replies Lynn.
It wasn't long before Lynn was free from the circle and Kaori embraces her in a hug.
"I can't thank you enough!"
"Don't worry about it, as long as you get what you want-Mmph!?" replies Lynn before being shocked with Kaori's lips suddenly pressed against hers, who quickly places her hands on the sides of Lynn's face, causing Lynn's cheeks to reddened, before the quick act of affection comes to an end and Kaori hugs her again before releasing her and happily skipping down the hall.
"Heh, wow…" comments Lynn with a smile, looking back to Kaori. "I guess she's REALLY happy!"
-
- Later that day, 4:20 P.M. -
Kaori, dressed in a sleeve-less skirt and jeans, nervously waits near the outside entrance to the movie theater, leaning back against the wall, looking down to the ground, smiling with a blush on her cheeks and a smile.
'I should've asked for a different place…' she thinks. 'Going to see a movie isn't a good first date… Something like a picnic at a park with just the two of us would've been a good first date…' Kaori's blushed cheeks deepen in color at the thought. 'No, that would probably be coming on too strong… A movie theater still has a bunch of people in it, so, it's not like we're completely alone… but, neither of us brings any friends though, so in a way, we are alone. The important thing is that she said yes, Miss Sakaki wants to be around me! Any place is good if Miss Sakaki want to be there with me…'
"Kaori?"
The blushing girl gasps out in surprise from Sakaki's voice to her right and quickly moves from the wall to look at the taller girl, dressed similar to her, a sleeve-less shirt and jeans.
"O-Oh! H-Hi Sakaki!" greets Kaori happily. 'She really came!' she adds in her thoughts.
"Hey." Greets Sakaki, with a small smile.
"The movie is gonna start soon, come on!" replies Kaori.
After turning around and taking a few steps though, Kaori hears Sakaki call her name.
"Kaori, wait…"
Turning around with a 'Huh?', the concerned look on Sakaki's face doesn't get pass Kaori's notice and she looks to Sakaki's wonderingly.
"Sakaki? Is something wrong?"
"I have to tell you something." Replies Sakaki, stepping towards the shorter girl.
"What is it?" asks Kaori, trying not to look too worried, but in her head, fearfully playing out the worst possible scenario of Sakaki completely rejecting her feelings and not ever wanting to see her again.
"Well…" begins Sakaki, averting her eyes from Kaori's, "Firstly, I don't want to hurt your feelings…"
At this comment, Kaori could already feel the tears coming…
"I know you like me, and there's nothing wrong with that, it actually makes me feel good knowing that and seeing how nervous you get around me." States Sakaki with a smile.
Now, although tears had brimmed her eyes, Kaori was more confused than saddened by Sakaki's assumed rejection of her, 'I make Miss Sakaki feel good by liking her?'
"So I'm not rejecting your feelings for me." Adds Sakaki, causing a big smile to appear on Kaori's face, before it quickly shrunk with Sakaki adding "But… the thing is, I just, don't feel the same about you that you do me…"
Before Sakaki could continue much further, a surprised expression appears on Kaori's face before the return of the big smile.
"Of course you don't feel the same way about me, I know that!"
"Huh? You do?" questions Sakaki.
"Of course I do…" replies Kaori as she wipes the tears from her face. "It would be pretty stupid for me to think that you liked me the same when there so many other people around that you could like, do you already have a someone you like?"
"Well, not in the manner you're talking about, no." replies Sakaki.
Kaori then quickly reaches to Sakaki's left hand and grasps it in both of hers smiling up at her.
"Then that's great! You may not feel the same way about me now, but that can change! After all, that's one of the purposes of a date right? To get to know the other person and possibly develop feelings for them."
"W-Well, yeah…" replies Sakaki nervously.
"I haven't really been trying to get your attention ether…" states Kaori, her cheeks reddening again as she looks down for a moment before looking back up at the taller girl. "But starting today, I will! Let's start dating!"
Smiling down at the shorter girl, Sakaki replies with a simple, "Ok."
Kaori immediately embraces Sakaki in a hug, pressing her face into her breasts.
"Thank-you so much! I promise you won't be disappointed with me as your girlfriend!"
"Kaorin…"
